Laser for machine vision

Lasers for machine vision from Z-LASER are used as structured illumination in many machine vision systems. The combination of laser illumination and machine vision offers interesting possibilities for the automation of optical quality control. With this form of illumination the spatial contours of moving and non-moving objects can be captured.

The lasers are used in combination with an industrial camera to detect and measure defects, presence, diameter, edges, gaps and more. Depending on the type of objects to be examined, line lasers with homogeneous and thin line projections or different patterns (multi lines, dot grids, grid structures, random patterns etc.) as well as wavelengths (blue, green, red, IR) are usually used.
The new ZX series lasers are ideal for integration into sensors and for high-volume OEM applications.

Reduction of the error rate and increase of quality by laser for machine vision

In many machine vision systems the laser modules of Z-LASER are used as structured illumination. Thus they detect the spatial contours of moving and unmoving objects. By using these lasers, you can detect defects, presence, diameter, edge gaps and more in order to measure them and subsequently correct or align them. Depending on the nature of the objects to be examined, micro or macro lines or different patterns (crosses, circles, dotted grids, multi lines or similar) are used.
